Hey everyone. Im new to this community, and I just bought a 2000 DISCO II. Its all stock at the moment, but i have some plans for it when money permits. Im an air traffic controller in the USAF, so i have to do what i can with what I've got! I can already tell that this thing will probably play a major roll in everything i do for the next 5 years, and im looking forward to learning as much as i can from this site as well as everywhere else. If i ask some questions that sound stupid, my bad. Just dont know too much about the Land Rover community. I plan on driving it from Goldsboro N.C. to Anchorage, Alaska this winter when i move bases, so I look forward to discussing and doing buisness with you guys! Good to be here.

Nice lookin' Disco man! Is there a USAF base in Goldsboro? Not familiar with it unless a name is brought up. I live in an apartment north of Dayton, OH, where the Wright Patterson Air Force Base happens to be, don't know if you are fimiliar with it.

Been there a few times but before I went to college in Lima in August.

And damn, going to Anchorage, Alaska eh? That is a hell of a drive!

And also Welcome to LRO man!

Welcome from a former USAF Combat Controller! Enjoy your Disco and enjoy the drive to Elmendorf. I drove from Elmendorf across Canada and then down to the US- great drive but made the mistake of doing it in a 74 Camaro... wasn't much left of it after the drive.
You'll learn fast, no worries. Give that truck the routine stuff and it'll go damn near forever.

Welcome and Aloha from Hawaii. I am in the Navy, How good are you at using tools?

Funrover · 03-22-2006, 08:51 PM

Welcome man!!!! Great rig!! I hope you enjoy it and get to do the mods you want!!

dmcwhorter9974 · 03-22-2006, 09:37 PM

Thanks guys! Yeah, there is an Air Force base in Goldsboro.I won't write the name of it. If you will google it, you will get a really good laugh at it. Its pretty childish, but its a funny place to be at. I know where Wright Pat is. AAXD, if you head up there, just give me a shout. We'll go four wheeling somewhere. Im really looking forward to the drive. Anybody have any suggestions on places i just have to stop at? Im decent with tools, should i be getting way more familiar with them in the years to come? Muddy Oval, much respect to you for having that job. No-one knows how hard that stuff really is. Pics were took at Carolina Beach in Wilmington. The Outer Banks are great. Thanks for the responses guys. Happy to be here. If you ever need to know anything about the Air Force or keeping airplanes from hitting each other, ill be glad to help you in exchange for some info on the hopefully long life of my Disco.

Let me know the next time you're coming down, I'll hook you up with some great seafood joints and have a few cold ones!

Great to have you aboard. Very familiar with that area, Seymour Johnson AFB. Must have taken those pics down on the North End of Carolina Beach (Freeman Park). It's only about 10 minutes from my house, I live on Masonboro Sound. We usually park on the right just after you pass the entrance (got to be near the porta-johns due to the high beer intake). Sorry to hear you're leaving the area but you have a great looking Disco!

All the best from sunny South Africa
